Win Win
(M Contains offensive language) [2h15]
"Director Tom McCarthy is some kind of wizard. In his hands, simple stories (The Station Agent, The Visitor) take on the gritty texture & emotional heft of life as it's lived, not contoured by Hollywood. Win Win, which he wrote with Joe Tiboni, is McCarthy's latest gem, hilarious & heartfelt with a tough core that repels all things sappy. Paul Giamatti gives a master class...This movie wins you over, head and heart, without cheating. It's just about perfect." Rolling Stone 3.5/4 "Wonderful; observant, wise, an intimate & subtle story of human weakness & strength...this beautifully realised independent film about winning & second chances is one of those gems that easily finds its mark!" urbancinefile

The Hunter
(M Contains violence, offensive language) [2h00]
"Haunting & mesmerising, The Hunter is an outstanding film that tackles a hot socio-political issue through a well crafted, character driven story...an excellent adaptation of a striking, original & thoroughly engaging novel...The film is exceptionally cinematic, a combination of Robert Humphreys' marvellous cinematography & Tasmania's swoon scenery, both wild & tranquil...a tremendous achievement by all concerned, a film that delivers its emotional payload with sensitivity & power." urbancinefile

Headhunters
(R16 Contains violence, sex scenes.) [2h00]
"Director Tyldum does a superb job of infusing the movie's action-oriented moments with a visceral, white-knuckle feel that proves impossible to resist, & it's worth noting that many of the movie's more overtly high-octane moments are much, much more exciting than anything cranked out by Hollywood as of late...one of the most exciting, flat-out captivating thrillers to come around in quite some time." Reel Film Review 3.5/4
